A beautifully supple and sweet-fruited Pinot Noir from one of Martinborough’s finest vintages.
This pioneering Martinborough vineyard has been crafting exceptional Pinot Noir for decades, guided by a deep respect for the land. As one of the region’s early adopters of sustainable practices, their focus on caring for the land ensures that every vintage reflects both purity of fruit and a true sense of place.
The 2020 season was near perfect—warm days, cool nights, and a dry autumn allowed the fruit to ripen slowly, developing remarkable depth and balance. Handpicked from estate vineyards, the grapes underwent a wild ferment before maturing in barrel for ten months, resulting in a wine of elegance and complexity.
Silky, layered, and lingering with fine tannins, this is a Martinborough Pinot Noir of outstanding character at an exceptional price—crafted with care and built to last.
An expressive Pinot Noir with bright fruit, fine structure, and savoury depth.
Colour: Mid-garnet red.
Nose: Fragrant and rich, with notes of strawberry, red cherry, and cedar.
Palate: Beautifully round and supple, with lush red berry flavours balanced by fine tannins and lingering savoury hints.
Food Pairing: A versatile match for duck, roast poultry, or even a flavourful stir-fry. Enjoy now or cellar beyond 2026.
92 points Cameron Douglas MS. “Very bright, ripe, lifted and fresh red fruited bouquet. Aromas and flavours of raspberries and plums some red currant, a layer of wood scents and flavours then acidity to carry all throughout the palate. There’s a floral aspect too with suggestions of fresh roses then pomegranate. An abundance of fine tannins and salivating acidity. Great drinking on its own or to accompany fresh cheeses with best drinking from 2022 through 2026+.”
